Molecular Docking, Topological Analysis and Vibrational Studies on N-(2-Bromoethyl) Succinimide: Antidepressant Agent
Abstract:: N-(2-Bromoethyl) succinimide (N2BES) is a compound with antidepressant pharmacological properties. N-(2-Bromoethyl) succinimide was analyzed for its structural, electronic, vibrational, topological, and biological properties. The molecular geometrical parameters such as bond lengths (Å), bond angles (º), and dihedral angles (º) of N2BES and harmonic vibrational frequencies were investigated using the density functional theory calculations with the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. Experimental vibrational frequencies of N2BES were recorded in the region 4000–400 cm-1 (FT-IR) and 4000–100 cm-1 (FT-Raman) and compared with the theoretical frequencies were made on the basis of potential energy distribution (PED) analysis. Frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs), global reactivity descriptors, density of states (DOS) prop-erties, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis, topological analysis of the reduced density gradient (RDG), localized orbital locator (LOL), bond critical points (BCP) for N2BES are investigated by theoret-ical calculations. The experimental UV-Vis measured within the 200-500 nm and calculated electronic transitions of ab-sorption wavelength (λ), excitation energies (E), oscillator strengths (f), and assignments in ethanol solvent. In addition, the molecular docking study of the title molecule predicts its binding orientation in the active site of the target serotonin 1A (5-HT1A) protein.
